Conjouring images of dirty fingernails in mind, it's still a cool little car none the less.
 
A definite, solid Cool. It even looks good in two-tone paint jobs.
 
Nice, cool, classic roadster, but something pushes me away from voting sub zero. Cool
 
The least-cool of the 'big' Healeys. Overshadowed by the later 6 cylinder cars.

Still very cool.
 
I can only think of classy mustached old people wearing berets with their thick coats, long scarves, smoking a pipe and being snobbishly posh.

That, on all cases, is awesome.
 
It's the Big Healey!


Oh wait. It's not the Big Healey.
 
I'd usually give most cars from the era a sub-zero, but the grille is absolutely hideous. It's also a bit underpowered for a sports car (even this age), which bumps it down to an meh.

Plz don't kill me!

Weight. Also the 300SL was the fastest road car you could buy in the day, but it was one of the most expensive cars too.

I knew that was coming. Ok, I'll change it to a meh if that's so.
 
Either cool, because classic roadster, or uncool because...

Decisions, decisions...
 
Classy car. For me classy things are very cool.
 
Can't find a reason to vote uncool, so meh it is.

Prefer the later Healey's.
 
Meh. 6-cylinder versions are much cooler.

Like these guys, right?

Not a frog-eye. So not subzero. But still pretty cool.
 
Not the greatest car ever, but I'd be more than happy to drive it. Cool
 
Not as cool as the 3000 but still cool.
 
Not a 3000, but still cool :)
 
Defines cool, because not a 3000, which is instant SZ. Definitely a pattern forming with these votes and comments :)
